[Idea]: more flexible repos management
I suggest creating a termux-set-repo command which allows you to disable or enable repos for apt or for pacman. How to implement it correctly, I can’t figure out how to do it in my head, so I’m waiting for your implementation proposal (if you’re interested, of course).
Well, I have one idea how this can be implemented, but then will need to completely change the structure of the repos management of the service and mirrors.
So here's the idea: start storing all references to services and mirrors in files (let's call db) that will be located in $PREFIX/share/repos-db, thanks to which you can flexibly generate files in etc for package managers.
For example, the "db file" of the official termux apt service (packages.termux.dev) will look like this:
{
"link": "https://packages.termux.dev/",
"pm": "apt",
"repo": {
"main": {"arch": "all", "av": "new"},
"root": {"arch": "all", "av": "new"},
"x11": {"arch": "all", "av": "new"},
"termux-main-21": {"arch": "all", "av": "old"}
}
}
Explanation:
-
pm- for which package manager it belongs -
av- which version of android repo is supported for ("new" for 7+ and "old" for 5/6)
Yes, it all looks complicated (in addition to this, these are just my ideas), but I think that the result will be worth it :)
